I have had some bad experience in couchsurfing. Two guys have come in 2017. The guy from Puerto Rico and Spain. Alvaro de Arco and Diego Acosta. Especially Alvaro de arco is very authoritive. He behaves like he is the owner at my place. These two have asked me to give some drinks and food. I am not their servant. Especially the guys from Puerto Rico and Spain were the most disgusting ones. These two walk outside on barefoot. They were asking all the time some drinks and foods. They asked me whether or not I have tried some pot. I have never used any drugs in my life. They are taking care of marijuana in Malaysia. That is what they told me. The main purpose of Couchsurfing is for helping the travelers so that they can travel smooth and enjoy. And there is another thing. If some couch surfer have some bad reviews, those make me wonder whether or not I can host those people at my place. Nobody is perfect for sure. Basic rules to be followed at my place : never sleep with nothing on : take a shower before going to sleep at night : please keep yourself clean. And there is one more thing. My place has a steep stairs,so if you travel with kids , please don’t send me any requests to stay coz there is no guarantee for the safety. I don’t want to see any kids fall from the second floor. Please understand. I am not a VEGETARIAN nor VEGAN. So if you are a vegan, it is better to find some other hosts coz I eat meats and fishes as well. And if you are a vegetarian,but eat the marine products such as fish or shell fish, that is ok with me. But It is difficult to host a vegan. I respect and understand the concept of a VEGAN, but that is not me. CURRENT MISSION The world would be able to be much beautiful and funny when we all mutually are bounded. In order to make our lives much worthwhile enjoying, the couch surfing is the key. I would like to exchange the culture difference and language exchange. ABOUT ME I am a Japanese male who has even living and working in Osaka Japan. I used to study and live and work in Canada. Now I am back in here and working as a tour guide. In terms of the foreign languages , I have studied English ,Spanish as well. Before I studied ancient Greek,but I forgot most of it. According to my family tree. My family name is related to Musahi Miyamoto. Because his mother maiden name is Toyofuku. The village where my folks are now is famous for this musashi. This is something I did not know very well.

⚠️I can't host atm so please DON'T send request to stay! Also, I'm currently too busy I don't think I can meet up atm :( Ciao, I’m Kenya. Originally from Osaka, now based in Kyoto. I’m a government licensed guide in Japan and run a travel agency specializing in luxury tailor-made experiences for high-end clients across Japan. I also enjoy offering guidance or support to people who have hosted me or helped me during my travels. I value meaningful exchanges over transactional relationships. On a personal level, I have a strong curiosity for history and culture. Recently, I’ve been researching topics such as the possible connections between Japan and the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, as well as the history of Hidden Christians in Japan. I’m also quite health-conscious. I enjoy cooking simple, nutritious meals and try to avoid overly processed or chemical-heavy foods. Meeting new people and learning from different perspectives is something I truly value. I’ve been part of Couchsurfing for over 10 years and have had many great experiences through it. ⸻ My Place ✔︎ Located in central Kyoto, right in the heart of the old capital ✔︎ Walking distance to Nishiki Market, Gion, Nijo Castle, shopping areas, and nightlife ✔︎ Easy access: multiple train lines and bus stops within 3 to 5 minutes ✔︎ Osaka and Nara are about 40 minutes away, perfect for day trips ✔︎ During July, you can enjoy the Gion Festival from my balcony without the crowds Please note: The room is small and we will be sharing the space. It’s on the 5th floor with no elevator, so it may not be suitable if you have heavy luggage or mobility concerns. ⸻ House Rules (Strict) ① No smoking ② Maximum stay: 2 nights ③ Maximum guest: 1 person ④ Respect neighbors and local community ⑤ Maintain good hygiene (and please avoid loud snoring) ⑥ Please sit while using the toilet ⑦ Be respectful, kind, and not a “taker” No exceptions. If these don’t work for you, please don’t request to stay. ⸻ Additional Notes ・Priority is given to people who have hosted me or intend to host me in the future ・From November to March, it gets cold. I only provide light blankets, so please bring extra if needed ⸻ Important I often receive copy-paste requests from people who haven’t read my profile.

CURRENT MISSION I am currently based in Japan, Kyoto. I recently started my tour host journey on Showaround. https://www.showaround.com/locals/10368247 Feel free to book me for veggie and cultural local host whenever you're traveling in Kyoto! Sorry, I don’t host in Kyoto at the moment, please do not send me request for accommodation in Kyoto! 1. I am focusing on building my own business which focuses on making ethical cosmetics without exploiting any animals on the planet. My products apply our own biotechnology which is already patented internationally. We focus on creating products that help people take care of their eyes, skin, and their wounds. Our products focus on the people who truly care about themselves and really believe in good products can be ethical and effective at the same time. You can refer to more details via link below : https://ippongikyoto.com/ 2. I am a vegetarian and still learn about food using natural ingredients, especially plant-based food like vegetarian or even vegan food. I hope I can learn as much as I can and become an amateur food artist one day! 3. Sometimes I post the food I made or the nature I love on my Instagram #vegboydaily to share every amazing thing I have discovered. Hopefully, that could inspire someone who needs positive energy in life. 4. Helping others as long as I can! (It never changes!) 5. Never stop traveling! (I don't stay in one place very often) ABOUT ME I have both active and quiet sides. However, I believe I am a nice guy to get along with :) PHILOSOPHY Never say never
